Product details
Overview
MAX11046BECB+T from Maxim Integrated is a 16-bit, 8-channel simultaneous-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with independent track-and-hold per channel, 250ksps throughput per channel, ±5V input range, and 92.3dB SNR at 10kHz - designed for high-precision power-grid protection and multiphase motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11046BECB+T datasheet, MAX11046BECB+T pinout, MAX11046BECB+T application, or MAX11046BECB+T equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (64-pin TQFP-EP), confirmed timing specs (3µs conversion time, 10ns aperture delay), channel-to-channel matching (100ps T/H skew), internal 4.096V reference, and parallel interface configuration details.
Technical Context
The MAX11046BECB+T implements SAR architecture with eight independent track-and-hold circuits enabling true simultaneous sampling across all channels. It supports both internal clocking and external timing control via CONVST, with bidirectional 16-bit parallel interface operating up to 20MHz.
It features dual-supply operation: 4.75V–5.25V analog supply (AVDD) and flexible 2.7V–5.25V digital supply (DVDD), eliminating level-shifting requirements. Input clamping (±20mA) and overrange protection are integrated, with ±5V full-scale range referenced to internal 4.096V or external 3.0V–4.25V sources.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar simultaneous-sampling ADC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX11046ETN+ | Same 16-bit/8-channel functionality but in 56-pin TQFN (8mm × 8mm); lower thermal resistance, no RDC_SENSE pin | Better suited for space-constrained PCB layouts where thermal dissipation is prioritized over reference sense routing | Select MAX11046ETN+ when board area is limited and reference layout uses single-point RDC decoupling |
| AD7606C-16 | 16-bit, 8-channel, but uses serial LVDS interface; 200ksps max; ±10V input range; integrated PGA and anti-alias filter | Preferred for systems requiring programmable gain, higher input voltage tolerance, or reduced pin count vs. parallel bus | Choose AD7606C-16 when system-level noise immunity, smaller footprint, or variable gain per channel is required |
Compared with MAX11046ETN+, the MAX11046BECB+T offers larger TQFP package for easier rework and includes RDC_SENSE for improved reference stability in high-current layouts; versus AD7606C-16, it provides faster 250ksps throughput and simpler parallel interface but lacks on-chip filtering and PGA.

FAQ
What is the maximum sampling rate per channel for the MAX11046BECB+T?
The MAX11046BECB+T achieves 250ksps (kilo-samples per second) per channel with true simultaneous sampling across all eight inputs. This rate is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and supports real-time analysis of 50/60Hz power systems with oversampling capability. The 3µs conversion time and 10ns aperture delay ensure deterministic timing behavior essential for synchronized acquisition.
Does the MAX11046BECB+T require an external reference, or does it include an internal one?
The MAX11046BECB+T includes a precision internal 4.096V reference with ±5ppm/°C temperature coefficient, enabling immediate ±5V full-scale operation without external components. It also supports external reference inputs from 3.0V to 4.25V via the REFIO pin, allowing users to optimize input range (e.g., ±4.0V to ±5.2V) or improve system-level accuracy using a higher-grade reference. The RDC and RDC_SENSE pins provide dedicated decoupling for reference stability.
How does the MAX11046BECB+T handle overvoltage conditions on its analog inputs?
The MAX11046BECB+T integrates ±20mA input clamps on each CH0–CH7 pin, providing inherent overrange protection up to ±7.5V relative to AGND. When used with a simple external series resistor (e.g., 250Ω), this clamp safely limits fault current during transient overvoltages. This architecture eliminates the need for discrete TVS diodes or op-amp buffers in many industrial sensing applications, simplifying front-end design while maintaining 1GΩ input impedance during normal operation.
What digital interface options does the MAX11046BECB+T support?
The MAX11046BECB+T uses a 20MHz bidirectional 16-bit parallel interface with standard control signals: CS (chip select), RD (read), WR (write), and EOC (end-of-conversion). It supports both memory-mapped and I/O-mapped configurations and allows configuration register writes via DB0–DB3/CR0–CR3. Unlike serial alternatives, this interface enables burst-mode data transfers without protocol overhead, making it ideal for FPGA or microcontroller hosts requiring low-latency access to all eight channel results.
Is the MAX11046BECB+T pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX1104x family?
The MAX11046BECB+T shares identical pinout and footprint with MAX11046ECB+, MAX11046BETN+, and MAX11046ETN+ within the same package type (TQFP-EP), enabling drop-in replacement for grade or thermal variants. However, it is not pin-compatible with 4-channel (MAX11044x) or 6-channel (MAX11045x) variants due to differing channel count and associated pin allocations (e.g., CH4–CH7 are no-connections on smaller variants). Always verify pin function mapping against the specific device's datasheet revision.
